Recent Game Summaries

2017 Week 17 vs DEN (22 / 35 / 284 / 0 / 1 pass, 7 / 10 / 0 rush)

Mahomes came out of the gate hot with a long ball to Demetrius Harris on third and long that was followed by a Kareem Hunt touchdown run. He was picked off on his second drive, and botched an exchange and was sacked on his third drive. He converted another third and long on his fourth drive, only for the drive to stall out before the Chiefs crossed midfield. Mahomes then hooked up with Albert Wilson repeatedly and was stopped just short of the goal line before Anthony Sherman finished the drive with a score to give the team a lead at the half. In the second half, Mahomes led an eight-plus field goal drive and then led another field goal drive late in the fourth quarter to win the game.
